The opening of the Olympic Games 2012

During our first week together the children learnt all about the Olympic flag. The children found out that the five rings represent the 5 original continents that competed in the games; Asia, Africa, The America's, Europe and Australasia. We also found out that the reason why the rings are linked is to represent how the athletes at the Olympic games come together in friendship and unity. We made our own Olympic flags. It was very tricky to link our rings correctly and get the colours  in the correct order. Once we had finished our flags we had a parade outside and took this cool photo!
Go the Kiwi's!
